GENTRY -- Members, friends and the curious are invited to join the Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society field trip to Eagle Watch Nature Trail on SWEPCO Lake, just west of Gentry, on Saturday, Feb. 7. Meet-up time is 9 a.m. in the parking lot on Arkansas Highway 12. The event is free and open to the public. Anyone with an interest is welcome.
The trip co-leader will be Terry Stanfill, an active local photographer, so the outing is expected to provide opportunities for photography.
The trail is 1/4 mile long and easily-walked and leads to a viewing platform with benches and tables from which numerous bald eagles and other bird species can often be seen. Stanfill usually keeps a sharp eye out for other spots near Gentry where we can expect to see more birds. Last year, the group saw 54 eagles in one place just a few miles away.
